West Michigan’s Cabela’s will officially be open for business Thursday.

The world famous outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear kicks off its grand opening at 10:45 a.m. Thursday, at its new 88,000-square-foot store in Bucktown at 3000 44th St. SW, Grandville.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will include special guests Tommy Millner, Cabela’s CEO, and Grandville Mayor James Buck. Professional hunter Chad Schearer, host of “Shoot Straight TV,” plans to pull a trick from Robin Hood’s quiver and split the ribbon with an arrow.

The first 50 customers to walk through the doors each day will receive a free gift from Cabela’s. On Friday, the gift will be a Scout tackle bag, which is valued at $14.99. On Saturday, the gift will be a commemorative Cabela’s cap, which is valued at $14.99, and on Sunday, the gift will be a Cabela’s gift card, which is valued between $5 and $100.

This store, one of 12 more planned nationally for 2013-2014, will be Cabela’s 43rd retail location in North America. Normal store hours will run from 8 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Sunday.
